Writing Day, Atlantic 2024 issue for folks to work on.

Issue, there are three pages with outdated information about Meetups and Community organization for Write the Docs.

Goal, create one primary page for Community Organizers and remove the other pages.

Proposal:

  • Create new organizing guide in the Meetups folder (remove Organizing guide > Meetups doc).
  • Structure the content similarly to Graphana's Community organizing guide.
  • Move relevant content from the 3 existing pages to the new guide.
  • Remove out of date pages.

@plaindocs, @thatdocslady, and @ericholscher - I'd love to get your thoughts on updating the Meetup/Community organizing guide to this new content and format.

Started doing a full review but ran out of time for now, will pick up the rest later but I would like to submit what I got so far for discussion and implementation if agreed.

I'm collecting event and communication templates to help organizers. This allows them to copy and personalize basic event formats, introduction/CoC slides, etc. The small number we have so far is available on the Meetup Google Drive.

I was going to chat with you about getting some more specific branding going for meetup slide decks post conference.

@thatdocslady I applied your suggestions, unfortunately it wouldn't let me batch commit them... happy to review other suggestions and edits that you might have.

@rosewms the one thing missing here is removing the other old pages, and finding a place for this in the nav. Are you happy to handle that?
